So we're playing taboo for the first time, I was on the team that wasn't guessing. It was the first card so the timer is fresh and rolling. I'm sitting, watching to make sure this guy doesn't say the taboo words. On his first card he had "Dennis Rodman" and so he begins when I start the timer.

"He was an athlete!"

Everyone starts spewing out random names.

"He's black!"

At that point we all just bursted out laughing until the timer ran out and continue laughing for several minutes... way to narrow the choices down.

Does that make me racist?:eek:

No, that's just looking at the current state of professional athletes in this nation. Nothing wrong with that.

I see it as narrowing down a list of athletes by race. Nothing wrong with that. Now if you had said "He's A n<dong>er!", then I'd say you're a racist.

But seriously, who cares. Dennis Rodman is black, anyone who gets offended by that needs to take the stick out of their overly PC ass.

how is that stereotyping?

isn't the point of taboo to guess whats on the card by giving out clues?

I personally do not see the problem with useing a persons color to describe them.
